This model is a pull type and it says the operating max PTO speed is 540---- which is (unless I'm mistaken) the speed of the H's . It's 6ft wide and the blade(s)  are the type attached to an oval shape doo dad and they are not fixed, they swing/flail whatever. Pardon my lack of proper terminology ... ;-)

    My 5 foot Bush Hog with the overrunning coupling takes more than a 
full minute to coast to a stop.  The Flailing blades are heavy   and   
have momentum.  You would be much happier with the OR coupling, and stay 
well clear of the mower until it has completely stopped.

   You will destroy the Bush Hog if you hit rocks.  Walk the fields and 
check them out fully.  Any machine can be tipped over with the right 
situation.  Check for large rocks, deep holes, etc..  If you have them, 
steer clear.  Caution and good judgment are necessary.

Old fellah next door said "Oh don't bother with one of those" I was kinda thinking for a couple hundred bucks to have a loader that is made for the H-- so that I could move some manure from point A to point B... didn't seem too bad? i uderstand you have to use a hand trip to dump the bucket. Frame and bucket(s) a big and a small) looked good--maybe needed to replace or machine the cylinders. price was $300

Manure pitchers did their job in their day.  Far better loaders are out 
there now.  I have a pitcher for a super C and have one on an M.
I do not think I would put one on if it weren't already there.

Good Luck.
